Legislation is information-intensive; ensuring it is effective and reducing the risk of unintended consequences requires consultation at all stages.

Consultation also assists the public to plan for change and supports the legitimacy of the law-making process.

Throwback to the moment the whole hall sang. 🎷

Last Saturday, after the keynotes, saxophonist Temilayo Abodunrin, who has been playing since she was 12, took the stage with Dr Obiageli "Oby" Ezekwesili’s (@obyezeks) favourite song.

Within moments the room was singing. The graduates left their seats, came to the front, sang along, took photos, and many of us found ourselves in tears of joy.

After ten months of late nights and hard assignments, this was the Class of 2026 celebrating together.
The future is here.

In 2025, we searched for the best of us to join politics and be part of the solution. In 2026, we are graduating them.

Meet Glory Amadife(@GlobeauU), a policy enthusiast at Foundersmith working to create opportunities for young people and underserved communities. At SPPG, she learned to understand the systems behind our problems and turn ideas into action.💪🏾

[NO CAP @Nooooo_cap]

WIKE vs NAVAL OFFICER SAGA.

Question:
Can the FCT minister override the order of a 3 star vice admiral?

ANSWER:
YES, but only within his administrative jurisdiction.
He cannot override the 3- star in military operations or chain of command matters.

EXPLANATION:

Nigeria’s structure separates civil authority from military authority, even though both serve the Federal Government. The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is appointed by the President and wields executive powers similar to a state governor, but limited to the FCT.

He oversees civil administration, land, law enforcement (via police), and infrastructure within Abuja.
His power is from the President and the FCT Act (1976).

A “3-star” in the Nigerian Navy is a Vice Admiral, which is very senior and just below the Chief of Naval Staff.
Their authority is strictly military, and limited to defense, security, or operations under the Ministry of Defence, and not civil administration and as such they cannot issue directives on civilian governance, land use, or administrative policy.

WHO HAS MORE SAY AND IN WHAT MATTER WHEN CONFLICTS ARISE BETWEEN THE TWO?

If the issue concerns civil matters (e.g., building approvals, traffic enforcement, land allocation, or public gatherings in Abuja), the FCT Minister’s order stands.

If it involves military operations, security protocols, or national defense, the general’s order within his jurisdiction takes precedence unless countermanded by the President or Defence Minister.

In summary, the FCT Minister cannot command the Navy.
A Naval General cannot command the FCT administration.
And both of them ultimately answer to the President, who is the Commander-in-Chief and the only one who can override both.

In light of the current saga an example of a fictional case can be used to explain.

A Vice Admiral who recently retired from active service decides to build a luxury housing estate in Gwarinpa, claiming the land was allocated to him through the Navy Housing Scheme years ago.

Construction began but soon, the FCT Department of Development Control (under the Minister) issues a stop-work order, stating the land is federal reserve property not zoned for private development.

The Vice Admiral, feeling slighted, orders a detachment of naval personnel from the Nigerian Navy Base in Abuja to secure the site and prevent “interference.”
The FCT Minister instructs the Director of Development Control and civil defense units to enforce the stop-work order, citing violations of the Abuja Master Plan.

The Vice Admiral, through military hierarchy, insists the property is Navy-controlled land, and civil authorities have no right to intervene without clearance from the Ministry of Defence.

The situation escalates and ultimately lead to bulldozers meeting armed sailors.

The Presidency intervenes and after a review:

1. The President affirms that civil land administration within the FCT is under the Minister’s jurisdiction, regardless of the claimant’s rank.

2. The Defence Headquarters is directed to withdraw the naval personnel and clarify ownership through proper civil channels.

3. The Vice Admiral is reminded that military command does not override civil authority except under emergency or national security orders.

Real examples such as in 2006 between then FCT minister, el rufai vs the army and also in 2022 between the FCTA vs military all ended with the FG reaffirming that the FCT is under a civil administration and all lands are vested in the minister on behalf of the president.

With these facts, I leave you to decide what should be and what isn't in the ongoing case.
